Warehouse limits

Post by Sasarai10 »

I've got 2 questions:

-How many items can you store from each kind? I stored over 100 6-pack medicines (a total of 600) and still the counter goes on
-How many different items can you store? I'm at the page #15 now.


Guess why i'm asking :mrgreen: I just want to see if Rock has a comment like "warehouse is full" :P

There is no limit to the number of different item types. I'm guessing the quantity limit is 255. Video games seem to like that number.

Why would individual item quantity even matter? Medicine6 takes as much space as a Tunic in the warehouse, doesn't it?

yep,but i guess Rock could make a comment about that you cannot store anymore of this item or sth like that :wink:

really? i thought it'll be 999 because it's the last 3-digit number :|

Yeah, but why would he?

The 999 limit seems plausible. But even if it is limited, in the end you would get just the "not possible" sound and that's it, I doubt he'll give a comment.

255 is the largest number you can store in a byte. That's why earlier games seem to love it: Space was precious. That's also why Suikoden has historically done things like packing item fields together, e.g., adding 128 to the item ID number makes it an "unidentified" item. Having a separate field to flag the item as a mystery wastes 7 bits per item. Upping the storage limit to 999 means doubling the space required to store that number (or doing dodgy, complicated packed fields), and 6 of the extra bits allocated will never be used. Might as well go with something 255 or less, since nobody playing normally is likely to dedicate the time required to test the limit.

No. If I remember right, he says the same thing as for trying to store an unidentified ornament or permanent equipped item.

Manage to reach the max number per item (it's 254) and he says "Don't embarass me" 8)

So i guess there must be another one if you fill up all pages available with different kinds of item

If I remember correctly, that's what he also says if you try putting in a "?" ornament or the Blinking Mirror.

Pretty sure you're right. Although, I could have sworn he said it when you tried to put in partially depleted stacks of medicine, so I don't know that my memory adds much.

You can deposit the Blinking Mirror without a problem.

Oh crap, you're right :oops: .

Tried testing some more, Rock says the same thing when placing a locked equipment such as Eileen's Star Earrings.
